It'll be a long time before the TREND of more government intervention reverses. In the meantime, trade with the trend, and bet on the PPT to try everything possible.:cool:

Personal inadequacies make it easy for others to point out weaknesses, but not in ourselves. Most people here would not be nearly as rude if they had to say things to another's face. It's the anonymity, combined with the easy environment to lie to oneself about his returns, that facilitates...

Most guys on this board have a trade timeframe of 3 mins or less, so a score like that is not a possibilty. The article is just entertainment. It was possible, with longer timeframes, to partake in similar gains (without CDO's), if bot puts on XHB last 2 years!:)

Although I don't have a position currently in N225, I do trade that and the other asian indices. I seem to gravitate toward the Singapore mkt as I do well there.:)

How can it hurt if they enter same positions after you?:D

"5 year 'fix'"...hehehe, you got that right!:D

Agreed, and the fact that mkts couldn't stay down on teh MBIA news, even though it did shake 'em up. :)

Perhaps the $ rallies from here, and you hedged yourself right out of the benefit. The point ssimply that you should learn how to make money trading, and where to save it next. If you don't make it, you can't save it.:)

She still reminds me of a little, bitter, angry man.:D

"It'll come from where it comes from" sounds a LOT like "It depends was the definition of IS is" I am serious about moving abroad for awhile. Not just the coming democrats, but many other reasons too. For example, the thread on Brazilians leaving this country..all the best women are leaving...

She's a serious dirtbag. An EVIL woman scorned! She is gonna punish us all just because slick willie got caught chubby chasing with his hand still up the skirt. I will probably move to Argentina for the next 4-8 years like Mr. Faith.:D

I buy the ZW's on big pullbacks. Proper position sizing a must!:D

You could just watch the vehicle you're trading. or watch these guys trade in real time www.itrade4real.com :)

Futures aren't SPY's or QQQQ's... those are stocks like you trade. One last point, what if you're on the WRONG side of company specific news? Gotta respect that downside!:D

As a trader, it should not matter, especially when you consider all the different vehicles there are to trade. As an investor (longer term holds), you might be affected.:)

I would tend to agree, but it depends how we get there. The surprises in the headlines are definitely to the downside. In the meantime I am still short ZB (bonds). I'll be looking to short ES maybe Friday after the jobs report. :D

Ultimately it won't bail out anybody. These people have a different problem. Most thought they would live in these houses a year or 2 and make the huge payments, then sell at a BIG profit. Well, there is no profit and they can't afford to pay 80% of their takehome pay to a mortgage, much less...

Great article on the Brazilian exodus. I see it all the time lately in Florida. And it's not just Brazilians. I see many Argentine friends leaving, as well as Uruguayans. Some are not even going "home", but instead to Europe. Thanks for the article.:)

Most prop firms actually are just retail firms that are disguised. So there is not much difference to me.:)
